Introduction:
In world linguistics, the study of
anthroponyms is one of the main directions of
lexicology and onomastics. This direction includes the
study of names given to people, that is, personal
names, surnames, patronymics, nicknames and
nicknames. Anthroponymy deals with the origin,
structure, function of human names and their
development in different languages and cultures. This
field also includes the analysis of the historical roots,
social functions and linguistic characteristics of
anthroponyms. Anthroponyms are names that are
characteristic of people, which include personal names
and surnames.

Anthroponymy is the study of the origin, structure,
function of human names and their development in
different languages and cultures. This field also
includes the analysis of the historical roots, social
functions
and
linguistic
characteristics
of
anthroponyms. Anthroponyms are names that are
characteristic of people, which include personal names
and surnames .
E. Begmatov stated the following idea in his research:
Turkic names are proper nouns in Turkic languages,
constituting the ancient layer of the anthroponymic
system. The antiquity of Turkic names can be
understood in two senses. First, the names were
formed from lexemes belonging to the ancient layer of
the Turkic lexicon. These words belong to the first,
ancient layer of the Uzbek lexicon .
It was found that there are 143 anthroponyms in the
work.
The following anthroponyms appear in the work
"History of Four Nations".
